Limbaugh's signed letter of apology was part of a settlement that the woman's lawyers announced Wednesday. The other terms were not disclosed.
Sherrol Miller appeared on the national TV talk show circuit in the late 1980s and early 1990s, claiming she was married to a bigamist.
But in his book "See, I Told You So" and a related tape recording, Limbaugh apparently confused Miller with another person who made similar appearances claiming to be a transsexual lesbian.
"I am very sorry that . . . my book and tape contained a statement that was mistaken and that seriously offended you," Limbaugh wrote. "I apologize for the distress this understandably caused you."
Limbaugh said the error was removed from subsequent printings.
\ Football is like politics, says former President Gerald Ford. You have to learn how to laugh.
"You always have to have a sense of humor, do your best, hope you win," said Ford, who played center for the University of Michigan and was team MVP his senior year. "But if you don't, then look at what's down the road."
Ford's number 48 is to be retired Saturday when his alma mater takes on Michigan State.
"Of course, it was great to be sworn in as president of the United States," he said. "But in many ways, this is as meaningful to me on a personal basis."
